2018
Here, we present a protocol to describe ex situ and in situ investigations of structural transformations in metallic glasses. We employed nuclear-based analytical methods which inspect hyperfine interactions. We demonstrate the applicability of Mössbauer spectrometry and nuclear forward scattering of synchrotron radiation during temperature-driven experiments.

The Looking Glass Self

The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical self-perception,...
FAQs
Thermal-expansion matching limits stress at the metal-glass interface. Metals and glass can change dimension differently as an assembly is heated or cooled, so the mismatch may load the joint and promote cracking or loss of integrity. Engineers therefore select compatible material combinations and control processing temperatures to reduce these stresses during fabrication and later operation.
Fusion sealing, brazing, and adhesive bonding create the interface through different joining routes, but all three are identified as ways to establish a reliable connection. The choice must be coordinated with material compatibility and processing temperature. An otherwise mechanically sound joint can still leak, crack, or lose adhesion if thermal effects are poorly controlled.
Material compatibility, surface treatment, and temperature control work together rather than serving as independent choices. Compatible materials reduce expansion mismatch, surface treatments help prepare the contacting interface, and suitable processing temperatures limit stress during heating and cooling. Managing these variables supports resistance to cracking, leakage, and adhesion loss in demanding engineering assemblies.
Cracking, leakage, and loss of adhesion are key failure outcomes to control. Cracking can result when thermal-expansion differences generate excessive stress, while leakage compromises a sealed boundary and adhesion loss weakens a bonded interface. Considering these outcomes during material selection and processing helps preserve environmental protection and the intended electrical, optical, or mechanical connection.
A practical engineering workflow starts by identifying the required connection and environmental protection, then selecting compatible metal and glass components. Engineers choose a joining route such as fusion sealing, brazing, or adhesive bonding, apply appropriate surface treatments, and control processing temperatures through heating and cooling. These decisions are coordinated to limit interface stress and preserve joint integrity.
Metal-to-glass structures are especially useful when a sealed boundary must still support a connection or protected function. Hermetic electrical feedthroughs allow electrical paths, while sensors, vacuum devices, optical instruments, and high-temperature systems use the assembly for electrical, optical, or mechanical connections. The specific application determines which performance demands dominate.
In a hermetic electrical feedthrough, the joint must protect sensitive components from the surrounding environment while permitting an electrical connection across the sealed boundary. Reliable sealing is therefore as important as mechanical joining. Controlling thermal expansion, material compatibility, and processing conditions helps reduce leakage and supports the feedthrough's protective and electrical roles.
Vacuum devices, optical instruments, and high-temperature systems place different demands on the same interface strategy. Vacuum applications emphasize a sealed boundary, optical instruments may require an optical connection, and high-temperature systems expose the assembly to thermal conditions that can generate stress. Engineers tailor materials and joining conditions to the function and environment.
